TREATMENT OF LOOKJAW.

full treatment of lockjaw. While 1t

much better it.would have been for
Mr.. Kellher to have used the following
simple remedy when first hurt
Go into the back kitchen, take an ash
pail, fill it about one eighth with COM
mon ashes; then put in a good shovel
full of live Goals; put in wooden rags
enough to make a good smoke; put the
foot into the pail (undressed); use all
old blanket over top of pail and close
around the leg; let it smoke twenty
or thirty minutes; renew the rags anC
Goals if needed 10 keep it hot, and you
will be surprised to see how quickly
pain will disappear either from a
bruise, sprain or nail cut. l took this

THE ELECTION AND THE RESULT.

From the Odesss Democrat.
We are not disappointed that the
Wood law was defeated at the election,
but we are surprised at the large vote
polled.
We have been confident all the time
that the defeat of the measure depend
ed upon a full vote. The friends of
the Jaw we felt assured would &C to the
polls, while many who were opposed
to the law. we knew to be more 3k 1888
lukewarm, might, we believed ne
election 60 by default.
But let all of this pass. Thcs
have spoken and the Democrat sc>0z
tent with the decision, and we believe.
that some who favored the adoption OF
the law, will find in the near future
that there was more personal politics
concealed in the advocacy OF the Wood
law, on the part of at least n OF the
principal speakers for the measure (and
he a NONRESIDENT than they ever
dreamed of. This man Jno. A. Brooks,
but ilIv disguised this fact when he
snoke at this place. His advocacy of
the Wood law was but a means to an
end. and that the disruption Of the
democratic party in this state, to graft
fv his own selfish aims and ambition.
The speech made by Mr.. Graves on
"wednesday before the election, sounded
the KEYNOTE to the pretentiohs and aims
of such men as Brooks, St. John and
others. These men though nominally
opposed in politics, are really cheek by
j0wl, and the matter will be demon
strated when there is any show of sue
cess.
The leaders of prohibition have adj
mitted what anyone of common intelli-
gence knows, that to prove a success
this Organization must be national.
This they are aiming to effect BY cap
turing states, counties, and towns in
detail. This effected, the balance is
easy enough.
They know that the general govern
ment has control of the territory and
District of Columbia, and nothing less
than. the control of the legislative and
executive powers of the government
wiltsuit their purposes. Once in con-
troll of these, the judicial bench OF the
government would succumb to their
Vaccinations.
St. John, has, after a fashion, forced
his party id Kansas to his side of the
question, but the party has %curiously
enough discarded St. John. Brooks
attempted the same game in this state
in 1884, and is now preparing his forces
for the onslaught in 1888. His object
and aims are now more fully known
than then, and we cannot believe that
his following will be increased should
he decide to make a ~figure-head of him
self again on the field of politics.

soliloquized, as he hung by the tent

there, and quoting love-sick poetry.
Don't you hear Billy saving gourds

senior bachelor was added to the treble

paused to listen to a new-found rivalry.

LET THERE BE PEACE.
From the Odessa Democrat

Now, that the. election is over let's
all get down to business and do what
we can to advance the interests of one
section of the county. Let the dead
past bury its dead, and let there be no
iil-feeliDg or strife among Our people.
Everyone voted unmOles ed his senti-
iaeMts and with this all should be con-
tent. The Democrat has discussed
fairly and without censure or ill feel
ing, the measure voted upon, and has
not impugned the motives of any pri-
vate citizen, or his right to vote as fs
pleased. We have accorded TO. al
such, equal honesty and sincerity.

Wood law. This being the case, who
